I stand here shaking in the cold This threadbare coat won't keep me warm My feeble patchwork just can't hold Against the bite of this frigid storm I lock the cold outside my door Shut out the world and hide myself away I follow tears down to the floor I'm lying here alone and so afraid
Chorus: Thread by thread I come undone From a heart that has become Tattered and torn, misused and worn Thread by Thread
When will I let these pieces go And trust a heart greater than mine? To take the risk and bare my soul And leave this vain and foolish pride behind?
Chorus: Thread by thread I come undone From a heart that has become Tattered and torn, misused and worn Thread by thread you make me new From the heart that beats in you Woven and spun, grace is begun Thread by thread
I will stop trying to hold myself together Whatever the cost, whatever is lost I surrender
